Monetizing social media is something I can call a blessing to humanity. It has caused so many people, or can I say bloggers, to become millionaires? We have so many people who live lives that have cheated in one way or the other but found themselves getting involved with the social media platforms. They were able to find their ways to doing what they were supposed to do around the social media space just to get their daily bread.
Monetizing one's account on social media is not a day job and is something my husband has found difficult. He had a YouTube page on which he always posted videos on mathematics and physics. He had just a few subscribers ever since he had been using his YouTube account.
I was so inquisitive and asked him, Why is it that you only have limited subscribers for over 12 years now? He was so sharp and brave to answer me keenly. Likewise, he said the masses are not interested in listening to mathematics, nor do they care about any educational videos. They only want to watch fake news and something that they thought would give them joy.
To be sincere, we have so many content creators out there who are filled up with fake news. They are ready to give out their best to make them have their social media account funded. They can go to extra lengths to cook up what does not happen and has never happened just to have a tangible number of subscribers.
The real fact is that most people still run after them, claiming they are the best bloggers.
The only way to stop those people is not by regretting the reason for social media monetization; rather, it would be the best option to report such people. I think the social media owners have no idea of the fake news the bloggers are spreading, but reporting them may bring their accounts to at least a closure. That's possible. I'm only used to watching the news but do not know if there are ways of reporting people who carry fake news or spread it across social media.
Once a blessing was supposed to be a blessing but is becoming worse instead of great. Social media is the best when it comes to firsthand news. We get fast news from social media, but so many bloggers have abused this benefit. They have made social media a place of fake news carriers.
I kept wondering if there are no means of reporting them.
Not just fake news, but there are so many of them who make rubbish skits. They make that to bring subscribers to their blogs. In fact, be it Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, or other monetizing social media platforms, they only need a crowd. They require you to bring people to subscribe to your channel to make them receive their fame. This is why you see so many bloggers making what they're supposed not to make just to entice the masses.
In my little opinion, it would have been better to make it possible for the fake news carriers to be brought to book. At least just to make them feel the gravity of the wrong they are doing.
